AS Monaco has made a significant move in the transfer market, completing the signing of Nigerian-born forward George Ilenikhena from Belgian Pro League outfit Royal Antwerp. The 17-year-old prodigy has been impressive in his short time in European football, and the Ligue 1 giants are eager to harness his potential.
Ilenikhena’s journey to Monaco began last summer when he joined Royal Antwerp from Amiens SC. During his time with the Belgian club, he enjoyed an impressive campaign, scoring 14 goals in 50 appearances across all competitions. His form caught the attention of Monaco, who have now secured his services for a reported €20m.
